Greater hatred and prejudice looks like a fairly inevitable consequence of this messaging

Another thing that sucks about the fake "antisemitism" crisis that the western political-media class are pretending to believe in is that it will probably become a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy which creates real hatred of Jewish people. You can't keep telling everyone over and over and over again that Jews and Israel are one and the same and that any criticism of one is always necessarily an attack on the other while the state of Israel is murdering children by the tens of thousands without contributing to unfair prejudice against Jewish people everywhere. Israel is exacerbating this effect by insisting its actions represent all Jews and are done in defense of Judaism while committing genocidal atrocities under a Star of David flag.
If you understand the truth that modern Israel is a settler-colonialist project of the western empire which uses the Jewish religion as an excuse to inflict the violence and tyranny in a crucial geostrategic region that it has always wanted to inflict, then you understand that there's no real connection between modern Israel and the Jews you encounter in your community. Sure a majority of western Jews buy into the empire's lies and support Israel, but a majority of the westerners of all faiths buy into the empire's lies about its wars and official enemies and all its other propaganda too. This is just what it looks like when you live in a highly propagandized society which is structured to psychologically manipulate people into consenting to nonstop military violence.
Once you understand this, you see that blaming ordinary Jews in your society for the actions of the state of Israel makes about as much sense as blaming ordinary Muslims for the actions of the Saudi royals — but most people don't understand this. It takes a lot of learning and close examination, and most people haven't reached that level of lucidity in our confusing information landscape which is distorted by lies and propaganda. So when they see a self-evidently evil thing being done and hear their leaders and pundits telling them over and over again that if you hate what you're seeing then you necessarily hate Jewish people, what understanding do you think they're going to form in their minds?
Greater hatred and prejudice looks like a fairly inevitable consequence of this messaging from where I'm sitting. And it will all be the fault of the western pundits and politicians who are aggressively promulgating this message throughout our society right now in an effort to stomp out criticism of an active genocide.
